CLASSIC PREMIER ROYALE ROCK KIT IN BLACK LEATHER This a classic well built premier kit from the days when the word Premier really meant the best. Built in Leicestershire for decades until the company folded in the nineties and the name was out sourced to cheaper eastern made imports, this kit is a great example of the worlds best drum makers. The kit has been completely stripped down and rebuilt and customised to a high standard in robust, hard wearing and easy clean faux leather finish. This auction is for the shell pack only as shown in the pictures22” Base Drum with brand new gloss black resonant head with professionally fitted 6″ chrome Holz . Premier oval shaped tom mount arm. The batter head is a new PP coated with leatherette protection spot. The rims have matching leather inlay. Replacement new legs with a wider footprint for extra stability. 12” and 13” mounted toms and 16” floor tom all fitted with brand new Aquarian Galaxy coated batter heads. they all have the premier original Lokfast Tom mounts for the legs and arms which have replacement ‘O’ bolts where worn — difficult to get hold of but last forever if not overtightened and always loosened when re- positioning the drums.The kit is an original 80′s kit and is in great condition for its age with good chrome work and very few marks or scratches. There is some pitting on the chrome work on some of the tensioners and rims as you would expect from a kit of this age and it is an indication of the premier quality how good these still look. There is one odd leg on the floor tom as the original has been lost and and some missing chrome and corrosion on the other two. This is not really that visible when the kit is set up and does not detract from the overall stunning look. This kit would suit a beginner or somone looking for a good quality kit with a unique look. It is individual and a great looking kit.A great Rock Kit that look the part when you add your hardware and cymbals. Additional noteOne additional point is that there was always a design fault on the cast steel bracket to prevent this there was a simple trick of putting a jubilee clip on the oval bar as a memory lock and then there is no need to over tighten it as it rests in place firmly with little securing. As you can see from the photo this does not detract from the look of the kit and prolongs the life of the kit forever. The bracket on this drum has a very slight crack in it but this is not noticeable and as you can imagine is not effecting the performance in any way — but I always put a jubilee memory lock on to prevent it getting worse. I mention this only to give an accurate and truthful description of the kit. I will accept cash on collection or paypal .

They submission saved the champ, who was behind on the judges’ scorecards after four rounds of being controlled on the ground by the challenger. The Silva (27-4) forced Sonnen (25-11-1) to tap out from a quickly applied triangle choke armbar combination with just remaining in their five-round title fight Saturday at UFC 117 in Oakland, Calif.

The proceeded Silva to wrap up a tight triangle choke while simultaneously cranking an armbar. Sonnen dove backwards to try to escape the holds but Silva applied greater pressure and Sonnen was forced to tap. Silva quickly took control of Sonnen’s arm and wrapped his legs around Sonnen’s neck.

The opening minutes saw the two teams “discovering” each other, but after 12 minutes, the home side took the lead when Pablo Dora do shot through the legs of goalkeeper Botasso. Eight minutes later, the scores were level when Carlos Peucelle picked up a pass from Varallo and beat goalkeeper Balle steros with a powerful shot.It may have even played a part in the outcome of the first world cup in 1930. Argentina and Uruguay could not agree on which ball to use. So they decided to use an Argentinean ball the first half and a ball supplied by Uruguay the second half. As it turned out, Argentina was ahead at halftime 2-1. However; Uruguay came back to win the match in the second half 4-2 using their ball!

Varallo gave an interview earlier this year to FIFA football’s world governing – to mark his 100th birthday. He said the loss to Uruguay at the 1930 World Cup was his greatest disappointment.Varallo began his career with the club Gimnasia, but made his mark with Boca Juniors. He is Boca’s second-leading scorer with 194 goals, behind only the club’s current striker Martin Palermo. Varallo was nicknamed “Canoncito” little canon for his powerful shot.

The man who accidentally lost parts of his left arm suddenly became a national hero. He had scored Uruguay’s only goal in their opening match against Peru, but was then dropped. Now he was recalled and scored the goal that secured Uruguay the World Cup. The final whistle went and Uruguay could celebrate.
